TWENTY-FIRST SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
FROM FATHER VICTOR:
DE PARTE DE PADRE VICTOR:
The Words I Have Spoken to You are Spirit and Life
Following Vatican II, I had a professor in the Catholic
University who was brilliant. The students all had a lot of
enthusiasm and wanted to put into practice right away all that
was in the documents. The professor wisely tempered our
enthusiasm and reminded us that we need to have patience,
to first study the documents, apply the principles, and see
what the consequences are for parish life. One of the things
I remember most from this professor is that he told us that
he would implement a mix, a combination of all that the past
holds with the modern. What were the results? Excellent.
We were able to consider the old as a treasure and accept
the new as a gift from God.
Why do I tell you this? Because God has chosen a
people, He wants to have a community who adores Him in
Spirit and Truth. I remember my classmates from college
because we were all so enthusiastic about the council and
ready to make radical changes in the church but we forgot
about or at times tried to bury the great past.
I think that if today, Joshua (24:1) was standing in
front of us and he asked us, “Who do you want to serve?”
Or in our case, “what do you prefer, the new testament or
the old?” Many of us would say, “this is very difficult” (John
6) Or what would happen if Jesus was here today in person
and he asked us: “Does this shock you?” (John 6)
Before I end, allow me to tell you that the teachings of
Jesus appear very attractive. The Bible has been considered
the best selling book for many decades, but the teachings
within it, I tell you, are often difficult to understand and frequently difficult to put into practice. So, what do we do? The
Gospel of Saint John has given us a very good help because
it tells us that Jesus makes a declaration that changes all
the perspectives and illuminates all the doctrines about his
person and about his message that exist in the world. Jesus
says, “The words that I give you are the words of the Spirit,
they are words of Eternal Life.” (John 6:60).
In conclusion, thank you to my teachers in the
University for your talent and dedication. Thanks to them I
learned to love the past and enjoy the present. I learned from
them tat the teachings of Jesus are the actualization of the
Creative Word, which orders and gives life to the universe,
which gives life to the soul and strength to continue walking
with confidence the journey of our life. God has the words
of Eternal Life
La palabras que yo les digo son espíritu y vida.
Después del Vaticano II, yo tuve un maestro muy brillante en la Universidad Católica. Y teníamos muchas ganas
de poner en practica todos y cada uno de los documentos.
Pero el maestro sabiamente nos decía tengan paciencia,
primero hay que estudiar, luego hay que ver las aplicaciones,
y las consecuencias que pudieran tener estos documentos
del Concilio en la vida parroquial.
Una de las cosas que mas recuerdo de mi maestro
fue esta: El nos decía: voy a hacer una mezcla, una combinación de lo pasado con lo moderno . . . y cuales fueron los
resultados. Estos fueron excelentes porque tuvimos chance
de considerar lo antiguo como un Tesoro y aceptar lo Nuevo
como un regalo de Dios.
Porque les digo esto? Porque Dios ha elegido un
pueblo, El desea tener una Comunidad que lo adore en
Espíritu y en Verdad. Y me recuerda a mis compañeros en
el Colegio porque todos sabíamos lo que pasaba en el Vaticano y por lo tanto queríamos renovar la iglesia radicalmente
olvidando o sepultando un valioso pasado.
Creo que si hoy, Josué (24.1) se plantara en frente
de nosotros y nos preguntara “a quien quieren servir?” O en
nuestro caso, que prefieren lo Antiguo o la Nuevo? Muchos
de nosotros diríamos “esto es muy difícil” (Jn.6) O que pasaría si Jesús estuviera hoy aquí en persona y nos dijera: los
perturba esto? (Jn.6)
Antes de terminar, déjenme decirle que las enseñanzas de Jesús nos parecen muy atractivas, por algo la Biblia
se ha considerado como el mejor libro del ano por muchas
décadas, y esta doctrina, digo, con frecuencia es difícil de
entender y de ponerse en practica.
Entonces, que haremos? El evangelio de San Juan
nos da una ayuda muy Buena porque nos dice que Jesús
hace una declaración que cambia todas las perspectivas
e ilumina todas las doctrinas sobre su persona y sobre su
mensaje que puedan existir sobre la tierra, Jesús dice: Las
Palabras que Yo les he hablado son Palabras de Espíritu
son Palabras de Vida Eterna. Jn. 6:60.
En conclusión, gracias a mis maestros en la Universidad por su talento y dedicación gracias a ellos aprendí
a querer el pasado y a disfrutar del presente. Y en cuanto
a la doctrina de Jesús, no es mas que una actualización de
esa Palabra Creadora, que ordena y da vida al universo,
que da vida al alma y da fuerza para seguir caminando con
confianza el viaje de nuestra vida, Dios tiene palabras de
Vida Eterna.
Who will you serve? (Joshua 24)
Does this shock you? (John 6)
A quien vas a servir? Jo.24
Esto los perturva? Jn. 6

Spirit and life
Espíritu y vida
“..he who eats this bread will live forever.”
“...the words that I have spoken to you
are Spirit and life.”
“..El que come de este pan vivirá para
siempre.”
“... Las palabras que yo os he hablado
son espíritu y vida.”
Receiving Jesus in the Eucharist
gives Spirit and life! How can I prepare
to receive His Spirit and life?
In making room for the Spirit
I can ask myself, “Do I have any unforgiveness in my heart?” I can be a
person of forgiveness.
Going to Confession, can free
my soul of sin.
Surrender to the Spirit of the
Living God, looking at things with the
mind of Christ. Having faith in His plan,
surrendering my life to Him. Give control
over to Him... Trust in Him.
Recibir a Jesús en la Eucaristía
da Espíritu y vida ¿Cómo puedo prepararme para recibir el Espíritu y la vida?
Al hacer espacio para el Espíritu
puedo preguntarme, ¿tengo algún rencor en mi corazón? Puedo ser una persona que perdona. Puedo ir a la confesión y liberar mi alma de pecado. Puedo
entregarme al Espíritu de Dios vivo, ver
las cosas con la mente de Cristo. Tener
fe en Su plan, entregando mi vida a Él.
Dándole poder sobre mí y confiando en
el...
Life: A life of love and service.
Love takes sacrifice, Christ died because of his great love for us. In what
way can I die to myself and serve others?
I can desire God’s will more than
my own. I can help someone, even if
I may not want to. Giving clothes and
food to those in need. Even little sacrifices, like leaving that last piece of pie
for someone else to have.
Anyone can be an intercessor
and pray for others. There are so many
in need of our prayers. The lonely, the
sick, the dying. Those in purgatory and
those with everyday struggles.
Vida: una vida de amor y servicio.
El amor toma sacrificio, Cristo murió
por amor a nosotros. ¿De qué manera
puedo morir a mí mismo y servir a los
demás? Puedo desear la voluntad
de Dios más que mi propia voluntad.
Puedo ayudar a alguien, incluso si no
quiero hacerlo. Puedo dar ropa y comida
a los necesitados. Incluso pequeños
sacrificios, como dejar que el último
pedazo de pastel para otra persona. Yo
puedo ser un intercesor y orar por otros.
Hay tantos que necesitan de nuestras
oraciones. La soledad, los enfermos,
los moribundos. Los que están en el
purgatorio y las personas con las luchas
cotidianas.
“…no one can come to me unless it is granted him by the Father.”
“... Nadie puede venir a mí si no
se lo ha concedido el Padre.”
He has called you by name. He
has called you here today to receive his
beloved Son that you may have Life.
Surrender to the Holy Spirit each day.
Offer things up, and unite your sufferings with the sufferings of Christ.
This will bring you true peace.
Él lo ha llamado por su nombre.
Él te ha llamado aquí hoy para recibir
a su Hijo amado para que tengas vida.
Déjate llevar por el Espíritu Santo cada
día. Ofrece las cosas, y une tus sufrimientos con los sufrimientos de Cristo.
Esto traerá la verdadera paz.

RCIA
Do you know someone who might be interested in knowing more about the Catholic Church
or possibly becoming Catholic? Are you a regular
Mass attender but have never officially become
Catholic? Beginning on Wednesday, September
16th in the Parish Hall, we will begin our classes
called RCIA. The format is simple: We present
the Catholic faith, help those who attend to experience it in a real way, and do it in a way where
you will meet and get to know parishioners and
others along the way. There is no pressure and
no one is put on the spot. You don’t need to be
totally committed to becoming Catholic to join, just
an open mind and heart. Just take the step and
come or invite the one person you know who is
waiting for your invitation and go with them. For
more information, call and talk with Joyce Eason
at 541-664-5910 or Fr. Mike at the parish office.

ATTENTION USHERS:
The Ushers are asked to check the restooms after
each Mass. Last Monday morning maintenance
found one of the hot water faucets running, apparently overnight.
So, after your respective Mass, it would
be greatly appreciated if you would check the
bathrooms to ensure faucets are turned off. Don’t
forget the “unisex” bathroom located to the left of
the front vestibule.
On a separate topic, we are asking the 5PM
and 11AM Ushers to please return the headphones
to the shelf in the ushers closet after Mass.
SIGN-UP FOR THE FESTIVAL TODAY
The Fall Festival Carnival is less than month
away! The Sept. 13th event will feature entertainment, children’s games, a jumping castle, bingo, a
country store, and a pie zone. Sign-up today after
all Masses and for the following two weeks there
will be people after each Mass to take sign-ups for
workers for the many jobs it takes to make the carnival work. Plan to bake a cake for the cakewalk!
This year we are looking for live musical performers
and for individuals to display craft projects. More
details in future announcement!

REFLEXIONES:
Cuando era pequeño e iba a la Iglesia escuchaba
un canto relacionado al evangelio de hoy que me

vez me invitaba a pensar en que fuera de el no
habría una vida mejor.

We are looking for catechists and aides in
our classrooms for next school year.
Must be willing to complete mandatory
Archdiocesan Called to Protect and background
check.
LEARNING TO LOVE
In Washington, DC in 1994 Mother Teresa
said that we fight abortion by teaching the mother
what love really means: “to be willing to give until it
hurts...So, the mother who is thinking of abortion,
should be helped to love, that is, to give until it
hurts her plans, or her free time, to respect the life
of her child.” Gustave Thibon has said that the true
God transforms violence into suffering, while the
false god transforms suffering into violence. The
woman tempted to have an abortion will transform
her suffering into violence unless she allows love to
transform her, and make her willing to give herself
away. The Eucharist gives both the lesson and the
power. Mom is to say “This is my body, my blood,
my life, given up for you my child.”
LOVE THE LORD EVERYDAY
AS HE SO LOVES YOU!
